The Nike Air Max 97 Is Releasing Soon In Black And Neon Green

Never a great distance from the headlines, Nike’s beloved Air Max 97 has seen a lot of action in the last few weeks. Used as a collaborative canvas for Virgil Abloh and Serena Williams’ “Queen” collection, then taking part in a special tartan plaid pack that also included the Air Max 1 and the Air Max Plus, the 97 continues to be one of the most desirable Maxes on the market — and now it’s been unveiled in a striking combination of black and neon green. A textured neon green mesh serves as the base material for the upper’s underlays, while black leather and synthetic material is called upon for the mudguard, tongue, and bullet train-inspired stripes. A white midsole offers a touch of interesting contrast, and a black Air Max unit/neon green outsole complete the look. Look for these ladies-only kicks to release on Nike.com in the coming weeks for $160 USD, and check out our Sneaker Release Dates page for all the info and updates you need on the rest of the Swoosh Brand’s fall drops.
